These are the finest of all monitors. They will set you back over $400. You also need to buy the 1/4-inch adapter. They have two tiny speakers in each monitor and they get lounder than anything I have EVER tried before, and I have tried damn near every monitor out there. These seriously have the ability to blow out your ear drums if you plug them in right after another DJ without turning the volume down completely and then adjusting accordingly.

That sucks, Curly. I have a pair of Sennheiser HD280 Pros and I love them. They're very sturdy and have great sound quality. My friend has HD25s, which are a good buy also. (BTW, sorry I didn't make it to the studio las Friday, I was swamped with work).

For what it's worth, I've had the Pioneers for something like 2 years and they still work as well as they ever have. I've always liked the sound quality. Haven't started cracking or even come close to breaking, and although I haven't been very rough on them they've definitely seen some wear and tear. (Though now that I said that I'm sure they will )
I had the Sony 700s when I first started spinning and they cracked after a year or so...they weighed quite a bit too, so I was always fatigued after spinning with them. And the sound wasn't very good either...
I'd love to try the Technics, I've heard great things. If, or when my Pioneers break I think that's what I'm going to do next.

they do. actually they have a sampler of almost every headphone they have on stock and you can test them. you take whatever cd u want and hook the headphone to one of their cd players and take a listen.
i dont know if some branches dont have it but i always goto the one in pasadena and they always have test headphones. thats how i selected my first headphones.

DUDE! if you bought it less then a year ago you still have warranty. im just dealing with pioneer with my warranty headphone replacement now. i broke my headphone last week and sent the broken one with fedex(just the headphones without the case or the bag) to pioneer. i called them yesterday and they received it and they will be sending me a new one soon.
im selling the one im getting(which is brand new in package) and selling it for 125$ with 9 months warranty remaining. with that money ill be getting techincs.
i wish guitar center has senheiser to test so i can check it out to see whats all the raving about.

Ahh... I went to the one in Northridge.... that sucks
The Sony MDR-7506's are far superior then the 700's. The only reason why i use those now is because mine snapped at the hinges. I would go with the 7506's or Technics!!!

showed that website to guitar center and they price matched it. from 179.00 their retail price to 100 is one crazy deal.
cheaper than pioneer and better but pioneer is lighter and less sloppy when you put it on your neck or when youre trying to control it. but i guess you need practice to get used to it,
